Have Hammer Will Travel

I was helping my parents out this weekend with a remodel of their remodeled kitchen. The wood in their house is stained a dark brown, but their newly remodeled kitchen has a lighter brown colored cabinets. It’s annoyed my mom having the two different colored stains in the same room. So we took down the offending molding and cut new molding and kickboards. I hung new hardwired smoke detectors, hung baby gate anchors, and sanded down the window frame to accept stain. My dad helped me out and my mom will stain/polyurethane the molding so I can hang everything in the near future. I spent more time working on my parent’s house this weekend than mine. I only ranked my yard this weekend (I have a growing “honey-do” list with the baby coming).

My sister and Rich hosted Easter II this weekend. Last weekend Rich, Becca, and Richie were all sick so we couldn’t celebrate Easter with them. Vicky and Rich made brunch for us, my Mom and Dad, Mr. and Mrs. Bright, and Mike. It was a great brunch of French toast, bacon, sausage, fruit, and quiche. I got more parenting practice. Richie spit-up cookie on me while I was holding him. Richie got a Patriots football for Easter and he loved when I threw it up in the air and caught it. Richie clapped for me each time that I caught the ball (it made me feel like I was doing something special).
